Percepções da dificuldade de aprendizagem matemática no Ensino Médio

Abstract

The difficulty in learning mathematics in high school has affected many students and may have different causes. One of the main causes may be the lack of a solid foundation in relation to basic mathematical concepts, which leads to a difficulty in understanding concepts that are more advanced. In addition, there is a lack of motivation on the part of students and with teaching methods that are inadequate, all of this contributes to the difficulty of learning mathematics, there are other factors with cognitive deficiencies, emotional problems that can also be considered as factors that influence student performance. Many students demonstrate fear and anxiety in relation to mathematics, which are also factors that negatively affect student performance, thus creating blocks that make it difficult to understand and apply mathematical concepts, impairing the understanding of these concepts. In order to deal with this problem, it is important that teachers use teaching methodologies that can allow students to understand mathematical concepts in a clear and practical way, in addition to creating a safer and more welcoming learning environment. The difficulty in learning mathematics in high school is a more complex problem that requires the collaboration of teachers, students and all professionals involved in school dynamics to solve this problem. It is important to recognize the underlying causes and thus adopt strategic and effective measures to overcome these difficulties and thus promote the academic success of students.
